   Thanks for this Dotty. Very useful. I saw it earlier when I was on the way to my GP to pick up a prescription.
In July the GP had refused my request due to the supply problem. I managed to persuade them to give me one so I could try to find a pharmacy with stock myself but  I could only get  16 patches not 24 .
   Then this week I found an alternative source online so asked the GP practice to let me a have a further prescription in advance in case the problem was long term. They have allowed me one just for 16 patches to cover the incomplete one.
I might now wait a month or so to see if my usual pharmacy gets stock in again rather than post the prescription to the online supplier.
